[Marsh.]

Madonna is the Queen Mother, passed it, no longer relevant but still hanging around.

[Lee.]

Erm.. I'll need to think about this

[Shaun]

Queen: Madonna. The title was invented for her. No one's close to replicating her career and discography.
Princess: Britney.
King: MJ.
Prince: I don't think anyone's ever referred to a prince of pop, but I'd probably say Usher.
Duke: Bowie, since he had the character of the Thin White Duke whilst in his pop phase.
Duchess: Again, not a title I've seen used but idk... Diana Ross maybe?

I don't see the need to give every current popstar a title. Some of them are going to end up as the next Dido, Lil Kim and Christina Milians.

This is mine.


King: Michael Jackson (permanent)
Queen: Madonna (permanent)
Princess: Britney
Prince: Justin Bieber
Dutchess: Rihanna
Duke: Chris Brown
Sorceress: Lady Gaga

[Locke.]

Good to see Usher and Chris Brown are being filed under their correct genre. Good work for once, TiBB

[MeMyselfAndI]

King: R Kelly
Queen: Leona Lewis
Prince: Childish Gambino
Princess: Taylor Swift
Dutch: Ryan Tedder
Duchess: Florence Welsh/Alison Krauss

[Saph]

I agree with most people

king - MJ
queen - Madonna
princess - Britney
prince - dunno..

but then there's distant family like the Queen of R&B, Soul, Punk etc

[Saph]

I think the only person who could steal the crown from Madonna is Gaga, but not for at least another 15/20 years. Britney could have, but she sort of ruined it :( she'll probably always be the princess though.

[iRyan]

Queen: Britney Spears

that is all

[Kizzy]

Queen: Madonna. The title was invented for her. No one's close to replicating her career and discography.
Princess: Britney.
King: MJ.
Prince: I don't think anyone's ever referred to a prince of pop, but I'd probably say Usher.
Duke: Bowie, since he had the character of the Thin White Duke whilst in his pop phase.
Duchess: Again, not a title I've seen used but idk... Diana Ross maybe?

Don't you think prince should be the prince?...I thought you were good at music stuff shaun :)

[Me. I Am Salman]

For prince of pop I'd probably say Justin Timberlake

[Joelle.]

King: Michael Jackson
Queen: Whitney Houston
Prince: Prince
Queen Mother: Madonna
First Lady: Lady Gaga
Princess: Kylie Minogue
Queen Of Latin Pop: Gloria Estefan
Queen Of R&B: Beyonce/Mary J Blige
Queen Of Soul: Aretha Franklin

[Shaun]

Don't you think prince should be the prince?...I thought you were good at music stuff shaun :)

-prefers him to MJ and doesn't want him to be lower-

plus idk if he's really pop. more the God of R&B.

[swinearefine]

Kesha = Life
Dev is her chamber maid

The rest are irrelevant

[Benjamin]

King: David Guetta (he seems to be everywhere nowadays and in pretty much every song)
Queen: Rihanna
Princess: Katy Perry
Prince: Justin Bieber (makes me feel sick, but he pretty much is)
Dutchess: Taylor Swift
Duke: Chris Brown



I'm going by current artists which seem to be holding the most impact over the last 5 - 10 years. I haven't included MJ as he is dead and he would be a Prince compared to Elvis who was the king. Madonna is not included as she was the queen of pop, but her reign is pretty much over and Britney really does not have much impact anymore.

[Shaun]

/ i've lost all sense this side of the world

[Locke.]

King of Pop: MJ
King of R&B (the most important): Lord Saviour Robert Kelly
Queen of R&B: Mary J Blige

None of the others really matter.

[Benjamin]

****ing spambots are pissing me off now. :mad:

Guetta is just a producer though

Rebecca Black is the jester

Ah I see, I will let you off then shaun :)

By royalty I take it to mean someone with an extensive back catalogue or has been influencial in shaping a music genre.

So mine would be
King, Elvis
Queen, Madonna
Prince, MJ
Princess, kylie minogue
Duchess, Annie Lennox
Duke, David Bowie/morrissey
